Generally correct? specificly very wrong.

The point about Egypt that you outlined is simply not relevant in the big picture.
In the bigger picture you must explore the natural outcome of supporting brutal dictators.
If Canada paid a brutal dictatorship in America to pretend to be friends with Mexico the Americans would increasingly hate their own leadership and the Canadians and the Mexicans. The longer it went on the worse it would build up. The loss of a dictator now is going to be less worrisome than the result of still keeping that situation running.

Still relation with Mubarak had been very solid on many issues.
The only thing really solid was his bank accounts
